Improved Anet A8 / AM8 X Tensioner

thingiverse

A remix of the original ANET A8 X-axis belt Tensioner (x-Achsen Riemenspanner) M4. **Changes** * The idler slot has been slightly widened. * The width of the entire tensioner has been beefed up. * An M3 nut and a countersunk M3 screw head have been added, allowing for easier tightening of the idler while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. **Required Components** * 1x **Original Anet A8 Idler**: This one's pretty self-explanatory. * 2x **M4x30+ Screw**: Used for tensioning. Minimum length is 30 mm, but you might be able to use shorter depending on your setup. Any head shape will do. * 2x **M4 Nuts, Hex Shaped**: Used for tensioning. * 1x **M3x20 Screw, Countersunk**: Used as the axle for the idler. * 1x **M3 Nut, Hex Shaped**: Used to tighten the idler screw. **Printing Instructions** * Print with at least 40% infill and exactly as already oriented. Supports are not needed. If you have any questions or found some issues, be sure to comment! I'll see what I can do! As usual, I've included the Blender file in case you want to edit it further.
